Even though at the time of writing (May 2024), we have yet to cover an Idaho-based tiny home builder, that does not mean that there is poor access to tiny homes for sale in Idaho. Given the Gem State’s close proximity to Utah, Washington, and Oregon, residents have access to some of the top tiny home builders in the U.S. And because most tiny houses are built on fully-mobile chassis, you can buy a tiny home on wheels from an out of state company and easily ship it to most locations in Idaho. That includes cities like Boise, Pocatello, and Coeur d’Alene.

To help you in your search for an affordable, mobile house with small square footage, we have created a list of some of the best tiny homes for sale in Idaho and the companies that build them. For each company, we have included information on their location (which is helpful when calculating potential shipping costs), a summary of their tiny houses, a list of their models with cost information, and photos.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tiny Homes in Idaho

How much does a tiny house for sale in Idaho cost?

When buying tiny homes for sale in Idaho from an out-of-state company, most prices range from $150 - $492 per square foot. This is based on the cost of the tiny home model plus small site work (clearing an area, preparing a flat gravel pad, and preparing utility connections).

What affordable housing options exist in Idaho aside from joining the tiny house movement?

Buyers who are looking for an alternative option to a tiny home for sale in Idaho should know that there are some different options. If you are interested in the tiny house movement for unique living spaces at prices that are affordable, you might want to take a look at kit homes. There are some unique options like Barn Pros which design and manufacture barns and barn-home kits that have timber as a prominent design feature. 

To combat the high cost of housing in Idaho, you might be interested in a manufactured home as a tiny home option. While manufactured homes are a little different than traditional homes and modular/kit homes - they often don’t qualify for the same types of financing and their value does not appreciate the same over time, they still are an affordable alternative. In Idaho, companies like US Modular, Redman Homes, and ideabox are options you may want to consider.
